Hi all,


   Another late report due to more wood fires which
continue to plague our town again, no relief from
snow/rain. Yesterday was in the woods near my backyard
which burns 2+ acres and brought 18 fire trucks/brush
trucks from 5 companies including 3 ATV Gators and
brought under control in 1.3 hrs.
